    Crisis Team said I should hear from Pysch either tomorrow or the day after.

    My 'guy' offered to take the day off work tomorrow to sit with me, and I declined his offer. I hope he insists. I don't want to ask him to be there for me, and I know that I won't have a good day if he isn't 'keeping an eye on me'.

    Just feel a bit lost now. A&E was a last resort, and if they don't help, who can? I don't think Samaritans would help, I don't want to talk, I want action. Not sure what to do now.

    Go for it! :p


    Yes, but the thing is, in my mind, a person who has an ED is thin, and I'm the hugest person ever.


    What happens there? Will you let me know? I hope it goes well for you xx

    That depends ... if your body has learnt that it can 't guarentee food it will go into "famine mode" and work harder to retain calories, added to by any binge eating ...

    This is what my body has done ... my metabolism must be at a standstill by now

    Night-owl :wave: I'm OK, how are you?

    ilovegreatdanes I think it's the deceitfulness that is really irritating. We hear so many celeb. weight loss stories saying they followed so and so diet, yet in the end you find out it wasn't just that. I'd prefer that they were honest from the beginning. I agree with you, it's her life, she can have the op but just don't lie about it. /Rant over :D

    feelinggood I'm glad you got to see the crisis team. Hopefully you will hear from the psych. real soon. How do you feel now? Were the crisis team helpful?

    septemberblues (((HUGS))) Feell free to post as and when. You're very welcome here.

    hazeyjewel Are you OK? I hope whatever is happening at work gets resolved soon.

    slowlyfading I'm OK. How are you feeling?

    :wave:

    top_drawer When you see your counsellor on Fri. maybe you could mention that you feel you still need some more support. It doesn't seem fair that they would just leave you.

    (((HUGS))) I'm sorry to hear that you haven't had a good time at home. Do you usually get on well with your Mum or is the way she's behaving quite normal for her?
    I didn't have toothache hun, I think that might have been rose.



    Hi,

    I dont know what the counsellor can suggest really, she's already said I can opt to see someone else instead and I can go back on the list once ive finished with those sessions ...

    This is normal for my Mum - she's a professional game player. I just sort of forget for awhile and then it hits me again when I go home. I cant believe I managed to live in that house all this time - I must have been mad (lol)!!!

    I find it really hard to keep up with everyone here .... when the laptops slow it just cant cope with too many windows so I cant have another running alongside the one I am reading.

    I don't know. Mind keeps telling me that the easiest and nicest way would be to end things, but I don't really want to do that. I don't know. I just either want these thoughts to go away, or the other thing.

    Um, no, not really helpful. Am I wrong to expect someone to make suggestions or offer advice or support? I've seen GP, Pysch, OT and Crisis Team, all of whom have asked question, but not given me any feedback or support or suggestions or anything.

    I'm alright at the moment, just waiting till I can get some alone time so I can SH again :-/

    Well hopefully someone will be able to help make them go away, because the other thing's not good.

    What exactly happened at A&E? Did they patch up your cuts etc?

    What a awful way the NHS has let some people down, it is heartbreaking to hear people so much in need of help and support but not getting it and unable to access that much need help and support.
    I have no ideal what to recommend which makes me feel awful myself, I really hope that everyone can overcome the way there feeling and return to a normal life soon

    feelinggood when you feel like endding it all remember and just think of what that would do to the ones you would leave behind, your family, friends and your husband/partner, think what pain they would go though - I know that its you in who is depressed but you must think what affect others would have to cope with.
    You really should ask your husband/partner to stay home, get him to spend the day with you, show him this thread on how you feel, you two could go somewhere tomorrow.
    You need to take a step forward that would be one
